Detecting Lava / Water changing in to Obsidian

Hey guys, I have already googled how to detect lava / water changing to obsidian, but the answers given in these posts did not work for me for some reason.

I am trying to use the BlockFromToEvent but when I do this, nothing happens:

Code:java

Material original = evt.getBlock().getType();
Material newtype = evt.getToBlock().getType();
 
if((original == Material.WATER || original == Material.STATIONARY_WATER || original == Material.LAVA || original == Material.STATIONARY_LAVA) && (newtype == Material.OBSIDIAN)) {
    // Water / Lava changed to obsidian...
    evt.setCancelled(true);
}

But lava / water still changes in obsidian...

Can anyone help me?

Kind regards, EcMiner.

 

Try putting a print statement in your event listener. So something like,

Code:

public void change(BlockFromToEvent){
Bukkit.getLogger().info("I work!");
}

Just to be sure the listener is listening and then we'll go from there.

 

... Ok I just want to clear up, I am not a noob, ofcourse I have registered the listeners.

 

EcMiner
You don't have to be a "noob" to not register your Listener. Sometimes, people just forget.

 

That's true, but it's also true that a lot of less experienced developers forget to check these kind of things before they ask it on Bukkit

 

Hm, could you post your whole listener method? I can't see any issues in the snippet you've shown.

 

EcMiner
You can use

Code:java

 
newtype.setType(original.getType());
newtype.getState().update();
 

 

EcMiner could it be BlockFormEvent? (I don't have the source with me right now, but FromTo only manages the flow afaik)

Yea, it would be BlockFromToEvent.

 

Lol missed the examples xD

EcMiner now reporting with the source in front of me. There is no event that fires when the block turns to obsidian. Try to cancel the flow from water to stationary lava (iirc that was the only way to create obsidian)

 

Fyi water cannot turn into obsidian, you only need to check for lava.
